Re: [JMC_Blue_Dwarf] Retail, Schmetail!

Away team one, escape pod crash site
Dr. Shakespeare, was sat on the ground, behind White wolf and Alota trying
to bandage up White Wolfs shoulder, he'd already done Alotas leg, who was
noe rying to dry her hair with shakespeares jacket, which he happened to
still be wearing. Jay was still pouring water out from his boots,
"Alota, i owe you one, you really saved my hide there" he said.
She looked up, "put it this way. If you drowned who'd fly us off this hell
hole of a planet!"
Jay laughed. Althoguh to behonest he wasnt entirely sure if that was meant
as a joke.
"JEEZUZ! DOC!" came a sudden yelp from White Wolfs direction, as Shakespeare
applied disinfectant to his wound. "Take it easy will ya" White Wolfs fur
was still matted together from his underwater adventure, it wasnt really a
well known fact taht hamsters could swim but he had proved that theory
wrong. He looked over at Zodar, "get that black box working, we need to know
who were looking for, assuming they're still alive"
Chris got on the job, and Dj ran over to help him. while Schweeble re-loaded
everyones weapons.
Cubie had also seemed to have appeared out of nowhere lucky for the rest of
the party..
after about an hour DJ called White Wolf over to the pod. "we've accesed the
box, theres an SOS signal, but we've only got video so far"
the 6 foot hamster scurried over to the pod, followed by Jay and Alota.
Zodar tapped a few keys on his laptop and the picture of a scruffy looking
man appeared.
"You gotta be kidding me..." came Chryslers voice from behind Chris.
White Wolf turned, along with everyone else, "something you need to tell us
Lt.?"
"Well Captain" said Jay "As you may or may not know, I served on the Red
Dwarf beofre transferring off about a month before it disappeared, thats why
I signed on for Blue Dwarf."
he pointed at the screen. "this guy was on the Red Dwarf too, he was a
technician, I used to play pool with him sometimes" Joe grimaced at that
comment...he'd played jay too
"Whats his name?" asked Alota
"Chen"
White wolf radioed Harris...
